Lotto Time

The following riders have been selected (randomly) from the stack of 183 postcards. If you see your name on the list congrats! You now have a winter of training in front of you. You also must notify us (Jake) by 11:59 PM on April 6th if you cannot make it to the race. There are 78 people who would love to be racing, so if you can't make it. Please don't take a spot needlessly. Thanks.


For those not on the big list, we have pulled your cards randomly to set the "reserve" list. As people drop out, you will be notified in the order that your card was pulled and you'll then be in. We'll post the top twenty, and as that starts to dwindle we will update said list.

dang. on neither list.

Same with me... neither list, bummer.

I know it doesn't give much solace... but everyone is on a list... we only posted 20 of the reserves... as people drop off of the lists you may see your name. We didn't forget about ya, and we do feel badly that everyone can't race (not badly enough to just let everyone in though), we need to be able to focus on too many things leading up to and on race day to have the amazing Almanzo like numbers.

Ragnarok Crew- Thanks again for the efforts you put into this! I'm looking forward to number 4.

Excited to be in, disappointed some friends did not. What's with letting all those guys from Duluth in?

SPH Larry said...

All the cards from Duluth were covered with a grease-like substance that kept sticking to our fingers when we drew from the bag.

I'm a non-selected rider from Duluth..wtf? Honestly though, the greasy substance is pickled herring shot-block juice. I dig the random card selection method. I'll try again next year. From what I've heard the Rag is a great ride.

Greasy-Sticky substance just screams DISINFECTANT

Sitting on the curb with the other less-than-lucky 50 lubbers...waiting and hoping, waiting and hoping. No sticks in spokes (too many sticks and spokes, respectively) to reduce the numbers--we wait, we wait, we wait. The curb is a lonely place.

Well that sucks, not on either list. Too bad, this was hands down my favorite race of the year last year. A bit frustrating, had the postcard in first day it was open, raced last year, still no dice. Im sure others in same boat as well, such is life.

Im curious, you stated that "we need to be able to focus on too many things leading up to and on race day to have the amazing Almanzo like numbers" How much more work is it to have 75 more people added to the roster? clearly more maps, etc, need to be printed and there are a few more people at registration, but how much more work is it really? (honest question not meant to be a rip, but to me it seems like once everything is set like the course, etc, adding a few more people would not be that much more work? Its your race and you can do what you want obviously, just curious).

I guess Ill hurry up and wait like the rest of ya'll, maybe even on the curb with jnorton, but not being on either list would be a serious longshot i assume.

Thanks for putting on a great event regardless, and hope to be there next year. Ted L.

SPH Larry said...

That's a good question, Ted.
Our entry has nearly doubled every year, so we had to draw the line somewhere. 105 seemed like a manageable number. The local law folks are comfortable with that number and its a number of riders we think we can keep track of. Also, all costs are directly out of pocket, so despite doing things on the cheap, it still adds up. We tried to imagine what 200 riders would have been like with the weather we had the first year and didn't like what we saw. It was a hard decision, but one we felt we had to make.
Perhaps one of you can organize a "Didn't get in" ride this summer or fall with the same course. We normally make the course notes available after the race is over.

Bitter Ben said...

like maybe riding the course on say....April 16? Exactly one week after the race we (bitter today) did not get in? that way it is still an early event to get our arse's in shape for and to see how we are doing compared to years past?

loved it last year...bummed this year but so is life.

I am on the reserve list and hoping to move up. How many no shows last year and when will you put out a request for drop out's to move reservest up?

Stop acting like Corporate Weenies. Man up and post details on the Ragnarok 105 entry selection process before wasting competitive racer’s time + money as well as trees.
